Who makes the best tacos in town?

  • Shane: Tacos Gomez for carne asada, Cafe Andrade for al pastor.
  • Susan: Tako Nako
  • Jacqui: Cactus, though I like their pupusas the most
  • Tarushi: Brazos Tacos are great
  • Jennifer: Second Tacos Gomez and adding Barbies Burrito Barn

What are the best and worst American state flag designs

  • Shane: Best are clearly Texas and New Mexico. Iowa is also pretty good! Worst is Idaho, which incredibly contains the phrase "State of Idaho" twice.
  • Jacqui: My former home Mississippi was very recently the worst, but I am proud of them for improving! I am partial to South Carolina and Louisiana for the best. I like pelicans.
  • Tarushi: Alaska looks great! Virginia is just...too much.
  • Jennifer: One of the best has to be Arizona and I would agree that New Mexico is amazing. Worst is probably South Dakota.
  • Joseph: Best: Alaska, New Mexico, California/ Worst: Oregon
  • Susan: I kind of love the design simplicity of New Mexico. Also like the pastoral scene feature on the Kansas flag and their motto "ad astra per aspera". Worst: Nevada's flag is boring and it feels like they came up with the design at the 11th hour before the deadline. I will also note that I've always loved the irony that SC's date tree and crescent moon reminds me of the emblam of Saudi Arabia. I like to call it the Islamic Republic of South Carolina.
